    Visibility issue

    VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR

    General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Chevrolet Suburban HD vehicles. These vehicles were assembled with a convex right-hand outside mirror, instead of with a non-convex (flat) right-hand outside mirror. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

  • 16V651000high

    Airbag system issue

During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

  • 26V289000critical Do not drive

Safety timeline

Full timeline
  1. Do not drive

    Do-not-drive recall 26V289000

    Front or rear wheel lockup increases the risk of a crash.

  2. Recall

    Recall 19V761000

    Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

  3. Recall

    Recall 19V645000

    As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

  4. Recall

    Recall 17V033000

    If equipped with the incorrect right-side rear-view mirror, the driver may misjudge the distance of other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.

  5. Recall

    Recall 16V651000

    A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
